The experience
About this tour
The hammam is the Moroccan bathhouse tradition — a steam, scrub and rinse ritual that locals have practised for centuries. It's not a luxury spa treatment in the Western sense; it's a practical, deeply refreshing practice that leaves your skin cleaner than you thought possible.
This two-hour experience starts with the hammam: you sit in warm steam to open your pores, then an attendant exfoliates your skin with black soap and a kessa glove. The scrub is thorough — expect a fair amount of dead skin to come off, which is the whole point. After rinsing, you move on to a relaxing massage using argan oil.
It's a straightforward, authentic experience that works well midway through a trip — your skin will thank you after a few days of sun and sea. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included from Agadir, Taghazout and Tamraght.
